Newsboys Concert w/Pictures

Man I had a blast yesterday!!! I started out the day at Games Workshop- I was able to purchase my Skaven rulebook and also Packmaster Sqweel. But the REALLY big highlight to the day was the concert that I went too after. I went to see Newsboys, Seventh Day Slumber, Bread Of Stone, and Me In Motion hosted by KSBJ-a radio staion in Houston, Texas. The first 100 people to sign up at the KSBJ Movemeant booth won a Meet-and-Greet with the Newsboys. The downside to it was they had more than 100 so we had to be herded through like cattle. but we were all able to get autographs and pictures-While they did not take part in the Meet-and-Greet, most of the other bands were taking pictures and signing autographs out in the lobby. I hope you enjoy the pictures

These are some friends of mine.

Our Time Has Come!!!

Warlord Cavesqueak surveyed his army from atop a small rise as the hordes of rats marched out of their underground lair to begin their conquest. A small grin started to form on his face as he thought of his other comrades from all across this world begin to pour out of their hiding places to join the assault on their enemies. The sheer simplicity of the plan assured that the man-things would fall. There would be no quarter given, all who did not surrender outright would be destroyed. This world had belonged to the man-things for far too long - A new order was rising, All would cower before its might. The Skaven have arrived.

SKAVEN RELEASED THIS SATURDAY!!!!!

"Prepare-my brothers" hissed Warlord Cavesqueak to the verminous horde that surrounded him, The room fell silent as his followers waited to hear what he had to say. Thousands of blood-red eyes turned to look at him as the anticipation of what was to come started to build. With a flick of his tail, Cavesqueak begin to address his troops........
"In 2 days time, The clans will emerge from their underground lairs and will overwhelm the puny surface dwellers once and all"!!!! At this the hordes of skaven assembled in the great hall roared their battle cries. The deafening sound rose until the walls of the cave shook with the sound. Cavesqueak let his battle-brothers enjoy the moment for a little while before he held up his hand for silence once again, when the room was quiet again he continued....  "With our clans finally united, The surface dwellers will not stand a chance against our might. The Skaven will rule over all that is. While this may come at great sacrifice-be it known, that for every skaven that falls-3 more will rise up to take his place!!! The surface world will be ours at last"!!!

As you guys can see-I am quite excited about this Saturday. While I am undecided about either buying my Doomwheel or a unit of Stormvermin-These decisions are trivial matters that will come to naught in the grand scheme of the Horned Rat. I can but enjoy the moment as the eventual triumpth of the skaven over all the world is about to commence..... Let the world beware- The Skaven are about to arrive!!!

Battle Blog taking a break

For you guys that heard that I had a alternate blog that I was going to use for Battle reports. I have decided to put it on hold until i'm able to learn how to post a proper battle report-While I was building the report I learned that its a lot tougher than I thought so until I can get a little more confidence in my writing ability its going into the "Dead Pile"-sorry to disappoint you guys but thats the way it works sometimes.

Sorry about being away for a bit - my life went downhill for a little while. The battle went well on Wednesday, although i have not been able to get on to post it. Me and opponent both did fairly well-We had to stop before the battle was over because the store closed-I was able to get a few pictures so ill post those into the battle report. Apart from that I've been attemping to finish assembling my Dwarf army and finish painting my Skaven army. The Halloween event that I went to tonight was very fun, the church that I go to holds a Fall Festivel each year for halloween and me and my family go there, Ill be posting pictures of my costume that I wore soon. Well, Thats about for now-Peace Out

Grudge match tomorrow

Today was pretty boring for the most part-Work was only 3 hours long and tomorrow is only going to be 5-but at least I'm still going to be able to demolish my friends lizardmen army in battle (at least I hope too). But I'm not holding my breath. It should be a good battle- If it still happens. Stay tuned to the Battle Blog for the report.

More Warhammer Pics (Skaven and Lizardmen)

The Lizardmen were my first army that I started-I got them to about 1500 points before I lost interest. But thankfully that was after I had already painted these



















Nothing too fancy on the paint job on these





















Now my Skaven are a different story altogether - Although the majority of my army is still unpainted I do like to show these off occasionally




The Warpfire Thrower that I have painted I tried to symbolize as the Skaven version of a hazardous weapon team so I painted it with brighter colors so that my other troops know to stay away from them

 


The Rat Ogres are not entirely my paint job-I updated some of the colors on them but they were originally painted by a friend that I traded my Beastmen army too-my Beastmen lasted even less time than my Lizardmen-I never even used them in a battle 



















Stay tuned for more......

More Warhammer Pic's

Although I currently play Skaven and Dwarves from Fantasy and Space Wolves from 40K I did at one time collect, paint, and convert other models from other races. Here are some of my earlier models.


Necrons were by far one of the easiest models to convert and paint because of their interchangeable arms. As you can see from the pictures.

















I took the arms from a Wraith and placed them onto a Lord to turn him into a Flayed One and then took the Weapons and Resurrection Orb from the Lord and gave them to the Wraith



































The legs that i gave my Destroyer I took off of an old Tomb Spyder and placed them in the vents on the side of his body

Hell Pit Abombination Pictures


This model is a completely converted model that I built and painted in about 3 days-the body has parts of 4 different models-The main body is 2 Chaos Spawns that i put together to make it larger. The head on the bottom section is a Rat Ogre head that i had in my bits box and also both the bottom and top half have 1 Rat Ogre arm each. In addition to that I have 1 Clanrat crawling out of each body-1 armed with a sword and 1 with a spear to symbolize the rats living inside the creature. Also as a final touch I added the rats following it. The Human that the bottom half is eating comes from the Giant models box-if you look close you can see that the Rat Ogre has bit his arm off is is eating it.
       
        The paint job was Scab Red for the body, Bestial Brown for the fur and the rats underneath the body, Blood Red for the teeth and eyes, Bleached Bone for the protrusions and the eye coverings with a drybrush of Scab Red over that. The Chaos arms I painted Warlock Purple and I hit the raised veins with Scorpion Green to symbolize the warpstone flowing through its veins, The weapons of the Clanrats I painted Mithril Silver for the base color and then went over that with Chestnut Ink. The shirt of the human is Enchanted Blue and the hat is Codex Gray, his pants are Scorched Brown and his shoes are Bestial Brown. and his body parts are also Scorched Brown as well.
